@dchimpy That’s my hope too. I’m really anxious to see what they could do with Borg. I think they could probably do something pretty cool with that “Strange New Worlds” Gorn too! I don’t know what level of commitment to Star Trek Hiya is willing to give but what they have shown so far for JJ Abrams Trek is promising. I hope they will do TOS and TNG too. If they do I have no doubt they’ll be great. I certainly love all the figures that they have done for Alien!
Gracias for the Amazon tip, had to grab a Kirk to test the line out.

I noticed last night that preorders for Hiya Toys Kirk and McCoy are no longer shown on Amazon, but all the rest of the upcoming figures are still listed as available to order for preorders. I have never preordered on Amazon before so I don’t know if this means that inventory is on hand and getting ready to ship or not. These two were listed as coming out May 22, so hopefully shipping notices are coming shortly.
Yeah, they ain't shipped shit and now they're sold out after taking my money. I can understand some goofery with mom&pop action figure companies but Amazon is supposed to know their shit.
I did a quick search and it looks like Hiya didn't announce Uhura during the forum outage? Bummer.
I did find the Bishoujo statue of Uhura from TOS, though - that might be the best statue of that line, since it's not crazy exaggerated or over-sexed.
Not that she would work for Hiya. 😉
China is alleged to be even more racist than America is; could that be the reason for her exclusion? That would friggin' suck.

Amazon has gotten pretty bad on pre-orders lately. Every time this happens to me I get some response from CS like the "Ordering system THOUGHT they would arrive sooner than expected but I guess that wasn't the case." I get weird pre-charge charges that fall off all the time and CS is basically like "So, you're not getting a permanent charge, just wait for your shipping email and stop worrying about it."
I'm currently in limbo on the McFarlane Fallout show Amazon exclusive 3-pack that has no arrival date with an initial delivery of 10 May. My ML Iron Man retro She-Hulk was supposed to be first out the gate at the top of May but now that I have the whole wave minus her, it looks like the current estimate is 2-weeks from now. Basically I'm told too that pre-orders don't mean anything. It's whoever lives in a 2-day shipping range from the product that gets it first. They'd rather bump your order out a month than make you wait a few extra days on shipping. Doesn't matter if you were the first to preorder, if someone orders a week before release and he's closer to the product, he gets it, you wait for the next resupply. I guess keeping that illusion of 2-day delivery is pretty important to them.
Hiya sometimes makes a post near the start of the month listing what is coming out. They didn't do it for this month, so I'm guessing nothing is being released.

Would this post be on their website or somewhere on social media?
Hiya makes product announcements almost weekly on their Instagram. Just today they announced a 1970s Leatherface Exquisite Mini that I don’t think had been announced before. I saw that Entertainment Earth sent an email to me reminding me that the Hiya Star Trek Kirk and McCoy Exquisite Mini is available for preorder and shipping in June. I figured that Amazon might just get them earlier since they advertised they would have them May 22. I think it’s going to be a race to see who gets them first. I hope this is a sign of confidence in this product on these vendors part and that sales are favorable for more product!
So, did anybody get any of these guys from Amazon or what? Were any of them shipped at all?
Just Kenser for me and he's slated for October. Amazon and their preorder system is pretty wonky.

Apologies, I meant whether anybody got Kirk and/or McCoy since they were 'released' last week.

I have been scouring the internet every day to see if anyone has gotten ahold of these. So far nothing. I’m getting the feeling Amazon just pulled that date out their rear-end. I also have a pre-order with Big Bad and they just say available Second Quarter 2024 Entertainment Earth shows available June 2024. Those dates are for Kirk and McCoy, not the rest. Hopefully it’ll be any day now. No notice of shipping on anything yet unfortunately.
